"Happy Valley" is a well developed drama, set in a calm town in Yorkshire and with convincing and with, sometimes, bizarre characters. In fact, an apparently uneventful location, turns out to be a perilous place for its inhabitants as a kidnapping and several killings occur. Suspense and drama created by these events are intertwined with the personal lives of characters: past strongly comes back to the present and the only way to get through is to confront it. The main character, Sgt Cawood, is a generous but, at the same time, tough policewoman, when needed. Yet sometimes her manners toward criminals seem unrealistic and even silly. Likewise the relationship with her sister. I also found the character of the accountant of the Nevison Corporation kind of goofy, and the physical features of the actor contributed to make this feeling even stronger. However, generally speaking, it's a good series as it catches the attention of the public and each episode the curiosity about the ending grows stronger.
